Identifying the Object Manager Alias and Port for Email Marketing

You will need the object manager alias and port values to perform several tasks in this chapter. Keep a record of these values to make the tasks easier to complete.

To identify the object manager alias and object manager port

Determine the object manager alias name for the object manager to which you want to connect. Write this down to use later.

For example, SMObjMgr_enu (Marketing Object Manager)

Navigate to the SWE installation directory.

Locate the SWE eapps.cfg file in the following directory:

<marketing server install directory>\SWEApp\BIN\

Open eapps.cfg in a text editor.

Search for the object manager alias name to which you want to connect. The line begins with ConnectString.

In the ConnectString line, locate the object manager port (a four-digit number preceded by a colon) and write down the number to use later.

For example, :2192
